Hmm. Like the Boston Tea Party? Or the other blockades performed at that time? The ambushing of supply convoys by patriots? I hear what you are saying. I just do not believe that that concern is relevant to the objective here.

Dumping a bunch of tea inconvenienced a few thousand, if that many, in the Boston, Mass colony - you are proposing to cause deliberate hardship on tens of millions in all states for an indefinite period to achieve a political end that many do not support, unfortunately.
Well, then we wouldn't be losing anything, would we?
